Awaken: Alarm with missions

Awaken is an alarm clock that makes you prove you're awake.

A normal alarm asks nothing of you. You reach out, you tap snooze, and you're gone again. Awaken replaces that tap with a mission — a small task you have to complete before the alarm will stop.

HOW IT WORKS

Set your wake time. Choose a mission. When the alarm rings, it keeps ringing until the mission is done.

MISSIONS

• Photo missions — get out of bed and photograph something specific. Checked in seconds. • Voice missions — say a phrase out loud. A live waveform shows the mic is listening. • Shake missions — shake your phone until the dial fills. Works offline. • Math missions — solve three quick problems. Checked on-device, offline.

WHY A MISSION WORKS

Snoozing starts a sleep cycle your brain can't finish, which is why the second alarm feels worse than the first. A mission interrupts that loop by making you move. Movement and morning light are what actually end sleep inertia — not willpower.

BUILT TO ACTUALLY GO OFF

Awaken's alarm runs as a native foreground service, so it survives the app being closed or the phone being restarted. The app guides you through the permissions that keep it reliable.

ALSO INCLUDED

• Streaks and milestones for consistent wake-ups • Wake consistency insights over time • Custom ringtones — import your own audio • Practice mode to try a mission before you rely on it • Nine languages • Light and dark themes

Awaken has no account and no sign-up. Your alarms, streaks and settings stay on your device. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
